THE EDUCATIONAL CON OF THE TAXPAYER BY -
3/29/2010DID YOU KNOW THAT UNIONS WERE ONCE A GREAT THING IN THIS COUNTRY. AND SOME UNIONS STILL ARE. MY DISENCHANTMENT IS WITH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND UNIONS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE GOLDEN PARACHUTE PACKAGES THEY HAVE MANAGED TO BUILD FOR THEMSELVES THRU EXTORTION---HOLDING THE STUDENTS HOSTAGE----THE THREAT OF STRIKE--- FOR THE HIGHEST PAY PER HOUR WORKED BY ANY INDIVIDUALS IN THE COUNTRY, AND THE BEST BENEFIT PACKAGE OF ANYONE IN THE COUNTRY.
BY PREACHING "WE WANT LESS KIDS PER CLASSROOOM, TEACHERS AIDS TO GIVE MORE TEACHER TO PUPIL CONTACT---AND A BETTER EDUCATION FOR YOUR CHILD " , I HAVE SEEN THIS AREAS EDUCATIONAL RANK PLUMMET FROM THE TOP TEN STATE WISE IN THE 50'S AND 60'S WHEN I WAS IN THE SYSTEM TO THE LOWER END NATIONALLY ( 42ND ). WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!
#1: THE FIRST CON--WE WANT AUTONOMY OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS- THUS EACH INDIVIDUAL TOWN OR COMMUNITY CREATES A HUGE CONGLOMERATE--THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FUND, WHEN LUMPED ALTOGETHER -WE HAVE APPROX. 653 INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS OVER APPROX. 21 COUNTY'S.
EACH DISTRICT HAS A SUPERINTENDENT WITH HIS STAFF AND THE AVERAGE FOR THIS STATEWIDE IS ABOUT $1,000,000.00 PER SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF. ( 653 MILLION COST TO THE SYSTEM ) THE DISTRICTS INTERVIEW AND ENTICE CANDIDATES TO FILL THESE POSITIONS WITH SHORT , HIGH PAID CONTRACTS, THAT HAVE "GOLDEN" BENIFITS AND ALSO LARGE PAYOUTS FOR EARLY TERMINATION AND OR RETIREMENT. THE AVERAGE COST TO THE TAXPAYER FOR EARLY TERMINATION AND OR RETIREMENT ( NOT INCLUDING THEIR STATE PENSION ) AVERAGES $550,000.00 DOLLARS PER CONTRACT ( USUALLY THREE YEARS ) TIMES 653 SCHOOL DISTRICTS "COSTS THE NJ TAXPAYER " ANOTHER $120,000,000.00 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF 773 MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
JUST GETTING STARTED- I'LL BE BACK--
PART TWO WILL FOCUS ON " THE CON OF THE UNDERPAID TEACHERS "
